Have you ever found yourself in the awkward dance of tipping and gifting at weddings, not knowing the etiquette or expectations? Well, you're not alone. We've brought in wedding industry experts Megan Noll and John C to shed some light on this complex etiquette. They're sharing their personal experiences, the standards in the industry, and even revealing the results of an Instagram poll on what wedding vendors typically receive. 

Navigating the landscape of gratitude in the wedding industry can be tricky. Megan and Jon discuss how social media presence and personal relationships can influence gift giving. They also touch on the somewhat uncomfortable but necessary subject of inflation and its impact on the tipping range. They emphasize the importance of being explicit about tipping instructions. But it's not just about money. They share heartwarming stories of clients expressing their appreciation in unique and thoughtful ways. From the Brooklyn client who sent a deluxe package of bagels and cream cheese to the necklace that was so 'Megan', these gifts convey appreciation in a memorable way.

Let's not forget about the unsung heroes of the wedding industry – the vendors. Megan and John underline the value of client testimonials and feedback. They discuss the creation of an effective feedback form and how to share reviews across platforms to maximise their impact. Even after the wedding bells have stopped ringing, they stress the importance of recognising the hard work of vendors. So sit back and listen in, whether you're a vendor or a client, there's something valuable to learn for everyone.
